Vrat Calendar — Every Hindu Vrat & Fast in One Place

The Hindu vrat calendar is the yearly schedule of vrats — fasts and observances — kept for different deities and purposes. The recurring monthly vrats are Ekadashi (Vishnu, twice a month), Pradosh and Masik Shivratri (Shiva), Sankashti Chaturthi (Ganesha), and the lunar markers Purnima (full moon) and Amavasya (new moon). Sankranti marks the Sun's solar ingress each month. Every vrat falls on a specific tithi (or solar ingress), so its date shifts each year — which is why every date in this calendar is computed from the Vedic engine, not memorized.

The list above shows every vrat and festival in the next 30 days, or in any month you pick, and the table shows the next upcoming date for each vrat type, computed live against today's date in India (IST). Tap any vrat to open its dedicated page with the full year's dates, the vrat rules, and the puja vidhi; for Ekadashi, Purnima, Pradosh and Sankashti, the row's city link opens the paaran, moonrise or Pradosh Kaal time for your city. Because each vrat follows the moon's tithi or the Sun's ingress, the next date is never a fixed English date — it is engine-calculated from real planetary positions.

Each is a monthly vrat for a different deity: Ekadashi (the 11th tithi, twice a month) is for Vishnu and is a strict fast broken at paaran; Pradosh (the 13th tithi, twice a month) is for Shiva, kept in the evening twilight; Masik Shivratri (the 14th tithi of the dark fortnight) is for Shiva with a night vigil; Sankashti Chaturthi (the 4th tithi of the dark fortnight) is for Ganesha, broken after moonrise. Purnima and Amavasya are the full- and new-moon observances. Each has its own dedicated page linked above.

The vrats follow the Hindu lunar calendar — they fall on a tithi (a lunar day), not a fixed English date. Because a lunar month is about 29.5 days, the tithis drift against the Gregorian calendar, so each vrat lands on a different English date each year. Sankranti is the exception: it follows the Sun's ingress, so it stays near the same English date. Every date in this calendar is the engine-computed tithi or ingress, never a fixed-calendar guess.

The vrats target different planets and life areas — Ekadashi and Purnima settle the mind and Moon, Pradosh and Shivratri address a heavy Shani and Mangal, Sankashti clears Ganesha-ruled obstacles, and Sankranti strengthens the Sun. Which vrat and upay actually fit depends on which planet is active in your kundali and your current dasha. Generate your free kundali to see which planet to address and the vrat that supports it.
